…ailure when swapping sides c424e2f ellswift: fix probabilistic test failure when swapping sides (Jonas Nick) Pull request description: Reported by jonatack in bitcoin#28079. When configured with `--disable-module-ecdh --enable-module-recovery`, then `./tests 64 81af32fd7ab8c9cbc2e62a689f642106` fails with ``` src/modules/ellswift/tests_impl.h:396: test condition failed: secp256k1_memcmp_var(share32_bad, share32a, 32) != 0 ``` This tests verifies that changing the `party` bit of the `secp256k1_ellswift_xdh` function results in a different share. However, that's not the case when the secret keys of both parties are the same and this is actually what happens in the observed test failure. The keys can be equal in this test case because they are created by the `random_scalar_order_test` function whose output is not uniformly random (it's biased towards 0). This commit restores the assumption that the secret keys differ.
